86: The sniper of the group with crushing single shots.His special ability also comes in handy since it delivers debuffs when you've added some potency mods. HK: Your default leader because you'll get additional turns for your droids.The offense boost is nice as you're in the mid-levels of the game but the lack of balance will catch up with you.Дroid teams don't have to be only droids, right? Exactly! Poggle: Ah, back in the day Poggle's offense boost to geonosians and droids really came in handy.It's like combining the best of Sidious and Lobot's leadership skills.

The leadership boost to critical damage alone makes 86 and 88 lethal weapons, but the additional bounty hunter synergy with 88 can do wonders too.

Boba Fett: Reworked Boba is a lot of fun to lead any team.

It may seem counter-intuitive, but once you've faced Grievous in the tank raid, it all makes sense. Solution: a leadership ability that cuts down the critical hit chance.

General Grievous: If you think outside the box a bit, the biggest issue with most droid teams is that they can't take a lot of hits.

There's little reason to choose him over HK, especially since it's a long journey to farm Lobot, but if you dig the hairstyle, he makes for a fun change of pace leader. His leadership skill grants a speed boost to your droids. That means you're getting extra turns for your droids and because each hit is critical, you obliterate the team you're facing. HK's leadership ability gives your droids added critical chance and turn meter boost when they land critical hits.

HK-47: Most top players will tell you that HK is the only leader for a droid team, and I can't blame them.

So now you've got a couple strong droids and you're trying to build your team. Their ability to do lots of damage and gain turns with the right leader makes them an ideal #2 or #3 team for any mode.

Droids also rock Galactic War and Raids: And maybe the best reason to have a strong droid team is that they perform in the other modes too.

And while droids are sure to scare the beeswax out of you, you rarely will see them in the Squad Arena because of their low speed and health. Neither of those have leaders that adversely affect droid teams so it makes your droid team versatile.

Jawas are their kryptonite: The toughest teams at the top of Squad Arena are typically either Rebels, Empire, or a mix of both.

86 has a tremendous special ability with increased critical chance and damage when you have other droids on the team (and you will) 88 has you covered with an AoE attack that debuffs the other team's toons.

Damage done: 86 and 88 deal serious amounts of damage.

Translation: they're easy to farm though it may take some time.

It's relatively easy to get three droids: HK, 86, and 88 are all available in the Squad Arena and the Galactic War.

The truth is that even though the game has been tweaked several times over the last year, droid teams have been the constant in the top 100 of the Squad Arena. They're cold looking, deal tons of damage, and with the right leader they seem to have a ton of turns. If you've found yourself here, then you know how devastating it can be to go head-to-head against a team of droids. Why Choose Droids in 'Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes?'
